Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 11:15 am ar 16 Tachwedd 2021.
The clause sets out that a person who does not hold a relevant licence commits an offence if they take steps to breed a primate under their care with another primate, or where they keep two or more primates together in conditions in which they are able to breed. It should prevent unscrupulous breeders from continuing to fuel a market for pet primates kept in low-welfare conditions. I urge that the clause stand part of the Bill.
I need say no more than that we totally agree. This is a very strong and important provision.
